I had the same problem and resolved it by calling the Link Sys Tech line.
They had me connect the lap top to the router by ca ble then they walked me
through the set up page at 192.168.1.1 made sure everything was OK there then
had me log on to the web page and logged on to their automatic set up site
and the web page did the whole thing from there.
They also made sure my drivers were up to date, which they were not since
upgrading to XP, and now they link works like a charm
